Unreal Engine - RTS Isometric camera vs Perspective camera
Isn't the isometric Camera looking better? Or its just my impression? Perhaps its my nostalgy for old games?
Why the Isometric Camera is better for performance:
1- It shows less units at the time.
2- It doesnt need the zoom. So it needs less LODs, and less detail on the units.
3- It doesnt require the sky, horizon mountains etc...
4- Can make the typical dark fog of war that isometric rts's like Age of Empires 2. In perspective camera that is more challenging.
The benefits of the Perspective:
1- More realism.
2- Better zoom.
3- Better atmosphere? (Depends on the taste).
4- Better usability. Better to select more units and have a better grasp of the whole map and game.
